Only A Decade To Restore Fisheries IF...

C.J. Samson/Wikimedia

  It sounds almost too good to be true: we can fish the oceans AND feed the earth's growing population, sustainably. 

That is the finding of several scientists, including Christopher Costello at the University of California, Santa Barbara. 

The scientists' report says "business as usual" would have to change, but that the Earth's fisheries could rebound in a decade. 

The suggested approach is "rights-based," rebuilding protected local fisheries.  Chris Costello joins us with details.
